Commentary	Pauline or Police Letoir (le Thor) was almost certainly the aunt of Johannes Letoir (or le Thor) (1602-1653), cited in the INTRO, who was the son of Hans le Thoor I of INVNO 518 (R 424). Tanneken le Thor, born in Antwerp, married Mr. Jan Tiellens I on 15 August 1587. Their son Jan Tiellens II (1584-1633), a cloth merchant, married Sara Lestevenon on 29 August 1610. The daughter of the couple, named Susanna, born in 1613, married Johannes le Thor, the son of Hans le Thor, from Antwerp (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 560). Martijn du Gardijn, borat worker, was born in Lille. He and his wife Police le Tor, the presumed sister of Tanneken le Thor and of Jan le Thoor I, cited above, passed their testament in 1593. In 1631, Martijn du Gardijn, living in the Verwerstraet, paid a tax of 180 f. He invested 600 f. in V.O.C. shares (Van Dillen, Het oudste aandeelhoudersregistere p. 242). He was also a buyer at auction (R 25525 of Montias2). He was buried on 9 June 1645 (DTB 1130/108). Police Letoor was buried on 29 December 1649 (DTB 1130/133).
